Bridging The Security Gap Between The Enterprise and CloudWhile public and private clouds simplify the IT environment, they complicate security and compliance by disrupting the control and administration of user access. As a result, security is the number one barrier to cloud adoption. Organizations that move applications into the cloud have to bridge the gap between the enterprise and the cloud by providing user administration, application authorization, authentication and compliance reporting to restore control and address regulatory mandates. Oracle Identity Management provides multiple solutions to address the speed, scale and trust required by organizations to bridge the gap and unlock the potential of the cloud.
